PSA: Men Please Keep Laptops Off Your Lap…

I always found that the category name “Laptop” was misleading. I have not owned a laptop in the last 7 years that I could actually safely put on my lap. Some of them were so bad you could fry eggs on the back. That is exactly the point of this PSA. I know that many of you are toting laptops around with your BlackBerry. We always knew there was a bad combination of putting your searing hot laptop right on top of your private parts but now we have a scientific paper in the journal of Fertility and Sterility detailing just how bad it is.

Here is a summary of the findings:

Putting a laptop on your lap will fry your gonads which could affect sperm quality

There is little you can do other than simply putting the “Laptop” on a table or desk

Researchers found that even with a laptop pad under the laptop the 29 young men still had overheating scrotums

Within 10-15 minutes the temperature is already beyond what the researchers considered safe but the young men did not feel it

There is no solid connection between laptops and infertility but something tells me there will be some soon.

Wow, thank God I’ve never put my laptop on my lap. My HP is known to have an overheating issue, there’s even a class action lawsuit against HP going on. It gets so hot it has fried thousands of GPU chips…imagine what could have happened to everyone’s jewels…
